Just got my trc few hours ago,transfer all parts from my blt2 aluminium. But need to change the handlebar to easton haven carbon,existing is ritchey supersonic super low rise.
Weight at 10.7kg small frame.

I have my LBS's 140mm TRC and it flows really well on singletrack and downhill. I guess I am just wondering if the 150mm fork will make much difference to the flow. I am hoping it will be good for the downhill and 120mm for the ups will make it the best of both worlds. I am not sure going to 140/110 is necessarily a good option as the 110mm for ups may not be as good as the 120mm option.

i never tried it on the 150mm setting yet, but since someone posted that the SC faq page took out the 140mm suggested max, I'm going to give it a shot. the 120mm feels great especially on the ups, but I'm definitely going to experiment with the 150 tomorrow.

Hope you get your bike together soon!

Kdiff, how is it on 150mm setting, especially on the climbs? I imagine it's great for downhill.

I've got a Talas on my TRc. The 150 setting certainly does wander on the climbs, but it is far better than 120 on the decents. I don't think I would go down to 140/110 though, don't think 110 would be good for much. As SC claims, 130 is probably the best all around front travel, or 140 for more aggressive riding IMO.

I don't find that it's bad on the climbs. When I hit a really really steep spot I drop my saddle to mid-height and lean forward and I have little problems with wandering. I don't think 20mm in fork height would make a difference at this point. It's a little tough when I hit some taller rocks on a really steep section. I think it climbs better than my Bur LT2 with a 120-150 Talas. There's a local trail where you climb about 6 miles then turn around and go back down. It has two really steep sharp corners where I have encountered people with more XC-ish bikes walking those sections and I can ride them. During the rest of the climb I never think my front is wandering. This might be a more subjective thing based on riding style and trail, but those are my thoughts.

On descents it's a beast with a 150mm fork.

Admittedly, I am curious what it would be like with a 130mm fork since that's what SC told me the "sweet spot" is.

Thanks for feedback. Do you adjust your Talas to 120mm for the ups, or just leave it at 150mm most of the time?

I think you are right about technique, I have been riding my 110mm fork Marin for 6 years, but have managed to keep up with my friends riding 150's on downhills, I've just had to improve my technique.

Not sure clearance will be great with a 130, I get pedal strikes with the 140 fork and am also hoping the 150 will help with that as well.

I found, activating the pro pedal reduces pedal strikes on really rocky ascents. Flat areas and descents I can afford to pay more attention. Or back pedal to avoid strikes.
Sc got my black and orange on Dec. 21. It weighed 28lb. I'm gonna take my time rebuilding it. I'd be happier with it in the 26lb. range.

Thanks for tips on pedal strikes, be interested on spec when you finish your rebuild
